Truth Betold
I arrived at the school very early today in hope to catch a quick chat with the mysterious guy from yesterday.
The school seemed like a plain graveyard, not many students were on campus. The sun had barely risen, the parking lot was very dusty, Sunlight hit the school through surrounding trees giving the school an angelic look. the walls are pricked with some amount of damaged features and graffiti lining the back end. the security post at the gate is positioned between the gate and high wired fence it seemed more like a prison. After a couple more minutes I noticed the shady guy walking through the gate. In the aim of starting a conversation, I went towards him.

"Hey, Hey, wait up"
I called in an effort to break him out of his ignoring state. He stopped, He was in a hoody jacket as suspected.
"How's your arm is it ok"
I notice him not looking up but down at his feet. I asked again with a bit more commanding tone, "how's your arm is it ok! ".
He responded,
"Yes, It is well"
His voice was deep, close enough to mine but lower and he sounded as if he was afraid of me. He also added,
" my classes are about to start to meet me after school at the library"
and he walked off heading towards the school entrance.

It was recess, Angelo was busy talking to his girlfriends. I met up with Cynthia, She showed me around a bit then we stopped for a friendly chatter.
"So where did you live before you came in this area"
she asked.
" A far away place from here"
I replied.
"Is it all or just you in your family has red eyes"
"Yes, and is it you or all your family has stunning blue eyes "
I counter.
" Yes, do you know the story of the giant monsters with horns that also had red eyes"
she added with a straight face. I know of a bedtime story that my guardians before the one I have at the moment used to tell me around, But the idea of it seems childish to tell a girl. I did not reply but with a smile. I noticed her gazing at my chest, maybe she was checking me out but no, she was admiring my necklace.
" who gave you that necklace, " she asked in a cheerful tone. my necklace she, all I know of this thing is that it belonged to my real father. I replied
"It's my father's, he gave it to me a very long time ago"
"So where is he "
she asked.
"he died when I was little"
I added heads down with a bit of sadness.
The tension was growing so I wanted to change the subject. Before I could make a statement I saw the mysterious guy sitting and nodding his head towards me as if he was trying to tell me not to do what I was about to do. I got up from the table and told Cynthia that I had to go. I felt bad for her but I felt I should listen to what the shady guy was saying.

After school, I went directly to the library. The library is very big with a lot of bookshelves. I searched all the busy areas of the library, but no sign of the shady guy, so I went to the furthest end of the library where I saw him reading a big book what seems to be enclosed in some form of leather.
"Hey, what is it you wanted to talk about"
I greeted
"how long has it been your highness"
he bellowed
"Wait, what, your highness? what are you talking about"
I questioned, startled by his response.
"Ok, so you don't know" he answered with a straight face.
"by the way I am Eddian"
he mentioned bowing his head towards before me.
"yes, Eddian , what is it you meant by your highness"
I asked with a confused expression
"Prince Theæsona, you are of a noble race of warriors known as minotaurs"
"minotaurs! you know that's all a myth and my name is tiona "
I whispered loudly not to engage anyone in the conversation.
"Do you think, what you did yesterday was an accident, you have the blood; the royal blood of a Minotaurian warrior"
he answered looking offended by my response. He then removed his
hood revealing his unseen features. He had the same colour hair as mine only way longer, skin tone, eye colour all the same.
"I want you to meet your warriors your highness, in the dark forest"
"my warriors," I said choking on my words
"I don't have any warriors, and plus I have a training to attend"
I added
"Where I am taking. you is your birthright, your highness, please come with me"
he bowed one knee on the ground.
"I don't know, I don't even know if your evil" I state confusedly
"In this world, there is no such thing as good and evil, It's just us and them".
